Apr 1, 2024 - Mar 31, 2026

This 24-month project aims to strengthen the Association des francophones du Nunavut’s (AFN) organisational capacities to continue to promote social and systemic changes in support of gender equality. Organizational capacity will be enhanced through the following activities: a review of human resources management, the improvement of internal procedures, and the training of AFN employees and volunteers. In addition, community consultations will lead to the creation of a sub-committee of Francophone women within the AFN. It will provide them with an inclusive space to amplify their voices and actions and thereby promote the Nunavut feminist movement while strengthening the AFN’s ties with francophone feminist organizations across the country. It will also strengthen partnerships between the AFN and its community and government partners in Nunavut to maximize the impact of the organization’s initiatives for Nunavut Francophone women. An external evaluation will evaluate the project’s effectiveness and guide the AFN in improving its future internal practices.
